LEED Hotels: High-Performance Buildings and Business

Candela Hotels believes that high-performance hotels built to a standard of LEED® Silver, or better, makes good business sense. In fact, we are the first hospitality industry member of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), and our CEO and Executive VP of Operationas are LEED® Accredited Professionals.

Why Emphasize Sustainabilty?

We believe the business case for high-performance green hotels is compelling.

• Green features increase property values due to easier maintenance and greater market valuations
• Green designs create healthier buildings that are more comfortable and productive for our guests and staff
• State and local incentives reward energy efficient buildings and eco-businesses
• Initial greening costs are recovered through life-cycle effectiveness, such as the savings from energy and water
• Our clients value environmentally friendly companies

Construction costs associated with building to LEED® Silver are cost neutral, and, once in operation, there are significant long-term savings from reduced energy and water consumption.
